Managing Modules
Enable, disable, and configure Muin business modules, Finance, HR, Compliance, and Nonprofit, with each plan tier setting how many run at once.
Modules are specialized business areas that add intelligent, industry-specific functionality on top of Muin’s core platform. Each module comes with its own AI agents, automated workflows, and smart integrations tailored for that business area—giving you purpose-built intelligence, not just generic tools. Your subscription tier determines how many modules you can have active at once.
Available Modules
Four business modules are available today:
| Module | Description |
|---|---|
| HR | Policy management, certifications, onboarding, compliance tracking |
| Finance | Invoice processing, expense tracking, budgets, cash flow analysis |
| Compliance | Policy management, regulatory tracking, gap analysis |
| Non-Profits | Grant management, donor tracking, volunteer coordination |
Vendors, Procurement, Trade and Contracts are planned but not yet available. They do not appear in your menu and cannot be switched on, whatever your plan. Their settings screens, if you reach them, say Not configurable yet.
Module Limits by Plan
Each plan includes a set number of modules:
| Plan | Modules Included |
|---|---|
| Starter | 2 modules |
| Growth | 4 modules |
| Scale | 6 modules |
Current prices and what else each plan includes are on the pricing page. Because four modules are available today, Growth and Scale both cover everything that ships.
Enabling Modules
During Onboarding
When you first set up Muin, you’ll be asked to select which modules to enable:
- Review the available modules
- Select the modules most important to your business
- You can change this later in Settings
The system will prevent you from selecting more modules than your plan allows. If you reach your limit, you’ll see a message to upgrade for more modules.
From Settings
To change your enabled modules after onboarding:
- Go to Settings → Modules
- View your currently enabled modules
- Toggle modules on or off
- Changes take effect immediately
Note: If you’re at your module limit, you’ll need to disable one module before enabling another, or upgrade your plan.
Module Limit Warnings
When you’re approaching or at your module limit:
- A warning banner shows how many modules you have selected
- Modules you can’t enable appear grayed out
- An “Upgrade” link takes you to billing to increase your limit
What Happens When You Disable a Module
When you disable a module:
- The module’s menu items are hidden from navigation
- Existing data is preserved (not deleted)
- You can re-enable the module anytime to regain access
- API endpoints for that module return an error
Upgrading for More Modules
If you need more modules than your plan allows:
- Go to Settings → Billing
- Click Change Plan
- Select a plan with more module capacity
- Changes apply immediately

Configuring Module Settings
Some modules have additional configuration options:
- Go to Settings → Modules
- Click the gear icon next to an enabled module
- Configure module-specific settings
- Save your changes
Feature Flags: individual capabilities
A module is a whole business area. A feature is one capability inside it, and some can be turned on independently.
- Go to Settings → Platform → Feature Flags.
- The header counts Total Features and how many are Enabled. Preview features are listed separately.
- Toggle a feature. Reason (optional) records why, which is useful when a colleague asks later.
- A feature marked Preview carries a warning: “This feature is in preview. It may change or have limited support.”
- A feature can depend on others. If they are off you see “Cannot enable: missing required features” with the missing ones named, and Recommended suggests what to turn on alongside.
About Feature Flags states the rule plainly: features are determined by your subscription tier. A feature marked as not available yet is not on any plan yet, and Emergency Disabled means Muin has switched it off platform-wide.
Menu Visibility: hiding what you do not use
- Go to Settings → My Account → Menu Visibility.
- The My Menu tab hides items for you alone.
- The Organization tab hides items for everyone. That tab is owner and admin only, both in the interface and on the server.
- Each item shows its real state: Always shown, Hidden, Off for your organization or Off the menu.
Hiding a menu item is cosmetic. It does not remove anyone’s permission. To change what someone may actually do, use Roles and Permissions.
Usage: what you are consuming
- Go to Settings → Billing → Usage Dashboard (
/settings/usage). - The header shows your Current Plan and Billing Period.
- Overview lists Current Usage per resource, with each one marked Healthy, showing how much is remaining, or Over limit, plus when it resets. AI Credit Rate Limits are reported per Monthly, Daily and 4-Hour Window, along with any bonus credits.
- History, Breakdown and Activity Log show the same consumption over the last 7, 30 or 90 days, by resource and by individual event.
- Pending Overages lists this period’s overage charges by Resource, Quantity, Rate and Charge, with a Total Pending.
- Auto-Buy can purchase additional AI credits automatically before you run out. Set Enable Auto-Buy, the usage level that triggers it, how many credits to buy each time, and a Monthly spending cap. Select Save Settings; success reads “Settings saved successfully!”.
Auto-buy is off unless you turn it on. With it off, hitting a limit stops the work rather than spending money.
When it goes wrong
| What you see | What to do |
|---|---|
| “Failed to load features. Please try again later.” | Reload. No feature was changed. |
| “Cannot enable: missing required features” | Turn on the named dependencies first, then retry. |
| A not-available-yet badge beside a feature | It has not shipped. No plan unlocks it yet. |
| Emergency Disabled | Muin has turned it off platform-wide. Nothing you change will enable it. |
| “No capabilities to manage” on Menu Visibility | There are no optional items to hide yet. |
| A menu item you hid is still visible to a colleague | You hid it on My Menu, which is per person. Use the Organization tab. |
| A module you hid still lets people in by link | Hiding is cosmetic. Remove the permission in Roles and Permissions. |
| “Over limit” on a resource | Either wait for the reset shown on the tile, buy a pack, or turn on Auto-Buy with a cap you are comfortable with. |
| “No history data available for this period.” | Nothing was consumed in that window. Widen it to 30 or 90 days. |
